North American Weed Management Association (NAWMA)

The aim of the North American Weed Management Association (NAWMA) is to produce education, skilled improvement, regulative direction and environmental awareness to preserve and shield our natural resources from the degrading impacts of exotic, invasive unwholesome weeds. Therefore, NAWMA supports accountable vegetation management through the utilization of associate integrated approach that doesn't limit any of the management tools offered. Correct use of the foremost effective weed killer for a particular vegetation treatment can end in belittled use of herbicides over the future. Herbicides area unit seldom required wherever restricted or sporadic stress is placed on associate intact plant community. However, the introduction of invasive plants, a no continuous fireplace cycle, overgrazing and drought have resulted in fragmented fascinating plant communities. To rehabilitate and increase total acres of resilient native plant communities, weed killer use should be associate choice for any integrated vegetation treatment program. A national policy that doesn't approve weed killer use restricts use of ALS substance herbicides or doesn't permit aerial application underneath any circumstance severely limit the flexibility to enhance and rehabilitate overrun land. The BLM is accountable for over 260 million surface acres within the Western u.  s. and solely would like to treat 932,000 acres annually with herbicides, or but common fraction. But one hundred and twenty fifth a awfully touch of land once thought is given to the quantity of acres that may inevitably be vulnerable by lack of weed killer use. Additionally, limiting or stopping use of herbicides on BLM lands can end in larger economic hardship for neighbouring properties (federal, state and in private owned) as wildfires, invasive plants and erosion issues apprehend no boundaries. Therefore, the NAWMA Board of administrators powerfully support the approval and implementation of other B – Expand weed killer Use and permit to be used of latest Herbicides, because it makes offered the foremost comprehensive set of tools to deal with the threat of invasive plants on BLM lands.
